| Allergies??? we have a new 13week old yorkie to our family. We have never owned a new puppy and this is a new experience. Our little baby boy has like a cough/sneezing thing going on. My husband took him to the vet and he said it was due to him having shots the day before that was a week ago and sometime he has a little discharge coming out of his eye like mucous. He only does his coughing/sneezing when he has been sleeping or is outside. My vet doesn't seems concerned. Is this normal??? |

| Coughing and Sneezing Carib started to make a "honking" kind of sound - like he had a fur ball. From what I have read, Yorkies tend to "reverse sneeze". They stand erect with head jutted out, eyes open, and legs somewhat bowl-legged. If you rub their throat and make them swallow, the noise stops. If your Yorkie has any kind of raspy cough - take them to the vet immediately as this could be a sign of a collapsing trachea which this breed is prone to. Also, make sure to have them in a harness versus a regular dog collar!
